Looks like the Tour is being loaded into Verizons inventory, though there is not any conformation that the unit itself is being stocked as of yet. With the release date approaching this is a good indicator that it will be released and available for purchase in the future. There is still some speculation on the release date, July 13th is the latest we've heard.

Storm 2 around the corner as well...cant afford both, and am a bit upset about the recent news with this phone and its speculation of coming as soon as late Q3-Q4 which puts us 9530 users on the back burner...

Shame on VZW, I'm almost certain they knew 100% that this was going to be the roll-out from RIM. Credit there marketing team on a JOB WELL DONE on locking in over a Million users with the 9530, all of which who will most likely abandon there 9530 for a 9630 or STORM 2 when it arrives. Especially at the pace VZW is moving on getting us 9530 users an actual OS update...pathetic really!!! :laugh2:
